SiS 6326 problem

I am setting up a PC with a SiS 6326 video card (AGP, 8MB) and am having a lot of problems! I got a Windows Protection error after installing the correct drivers, so I disabled it in safe mode, re-booted and it had about 5 conflicts! All the conflicts were with parts of the motherboard (e.g. AGP Bus etc). I definately have the right drivers.
I have an identical machine set up for Windows 98 and there are no conflicts at all. I really want Win95 on these machines though as they have been very unstable with Win98.
I also tried setting the resources manually, it said there were no conflicts, rebooted and again Windows protection error, disabled it in safe mode again, rebooted and it said there were conflicts this time affecting one of the drivers for the motherboard.
Anyone got any ideas? Has anyone there managed to get a SiS 6326 to work on a Via motherboard?

Sorry to say i cant really help, i used to have an SIS6326, an older version tho i think, it really isnt a very good card at all, if at all possible, bin it and get a newer video card (ebay if u want one second hand and cheap).

I had one of those A LONG time ago. Here's the situation. There are a ton of different makes of the SIS 6326 video chip. Some onboard, some PCI, some AGP. Try different drivers. Leave all the IRQ and resource settings at default (trying to force certain setings are just going to make other components spaz out... as you've seen) Check the Windows update site first for Win95 patches too. try different video drivers until you find a set that work. If I remember correctly, there's about six different versions. However, don't ask me to remember where their at. I don't keep bookmarks that long

Thanks for the advice. So far, I have tried 2 drivers - one was from the driver CD that came with the machines (this caused the Windows Protection error), and now I've tried the only driver on the SiS website - and this just comes up with conflicts
The conflicts are just memory addresses and I/O ranges :-
